Why Our Landscaping Services & Drainage Solutions Stands Out

A great yard starts with what's underneath. Iron Faith Dirt Works combines our dirt work expertise with professional sod installation and landscaping services to deliver finished results — not just rough ground. Whether you're sodding a new construction lot, restoring a yard after a project, or replacing worn-out turf, we handle the full process: grading, soil prep, sod delivery, and installation. Sod installation is our primary landscaping service, and we do it right. We start by grading and preparing the soil surface to the correct elevation and slope, ensuring proper drainage away from structures. We amend the soil as needed, lay fresh sod tight and smooth, and roll it for full soil contact. The result is an instant, established lawn — no waiting months for seed to fill in. We also address the drainage side of the equation. Memphis receives over 54 inches of rain annually, and Shelby County's heavy clay soil holds water near the surface. Standing water, soggy spots, and erosion destroy new sod and existing lawns alike. Our drainage solutions — French drains, swales, catch basins, and re-grading — keep water moving so your yard stays healthy and usable year-round.

01

Instant Lawn, No Waiting

Sod gives you a full, established lawn immediately — no bare dirt, no mud, no waiting months for seed to germinate and fill in.

02

Proper Drainage Built In

We grade and install drainage as part of the landscaping process, so your new yard drains correctly from day one.

03

Protect Your Foundation

Proper yard grading and drainage keep water moving away from your home's foundation, preventing settling, cracking, and moisture intrusion.

04

Increase Property Value

A professionally sodded, well-drained yard boosts curb appeal and property value — one of the highest-return improvements a homeowner can make.

FAQ

Common Questions About Landscaping Services & Drainage Solutions

We install sod varieties suited to the Memphis climate and your property's sun/shade conditions. Bermuda and fescue blends are the most common choices for this region. We'll recommend the right variety based on your yard's specific conditions.

Most residential sod installations are completed in one to two days, depending on yard size and preparation work needed. Larger projects or those requiring significant grading or drainage work may take longer.

Yes — new sod needs consistent watering for the first two to three weeks to establish root contact with the soil. We provide a detailed watering schedule specific to the time of year and your sod variety.

We don't recommend laying sod over existing grass. For best results, we remove or till the old turf, grade the surface, and prepare the soil before installing new sod. This ensures proper root-to-soil contact and long-term success.

Shelby County has heavy clay soil that absorbs water slowly and holds it near the surface. Combined with Memphis's 54+ inches of annual rainfall, this creates chronic drainage challenges. Proper grading and drainage systems capture and move water before it can saturate your yard and damage your lawn.

Absolutely. In fact, that's the best approach. We install drainage systems first, then grade and sod over the top — so you get a finished yard with proper drainage built in from the start.
